Tomorrow, I will try and take some good pictures of our very green lawn and the bright colored flowers in the middle. I think I will wait until the guy starts laying the floor in the living room to post some more picts. I think that will be Wed.

Hi again, here it is the end of another month and I want to wish everyone a safe and happy 4th of July! Tomorrow is our Friday which is always a good thing. Our campground is gearing up for a very busy weekend and on Thursday, which is also our day off, approximately 31 campers will be coming in. Glad I am not working that day, I can just sit back and watch them all roll in...Okay, we have some more pictures. Today, the guy grouted all the tile, and it's looking really good, even though, I, personally have only seen these pictures. Tomorrow afternoon, I will go in the bus and see how it came out. The pictures look good, I'm sure it will look even better in person. Tomorrow, the grout will be sealed and then, I think, on Wednesday, he will be installing the wood floor in the living room and after that the bedroom carpet and then the flooring will be done! As you will see in the pictures, our tile has a different look, see if you can spot it...

I have more pictures to share with you. I think the guy is pretty much done laying the tile, now all he has to do is grout it. He did a couple of things that Ron is not satisfied with, but, now that the tile is down, we'll just have to see how it works out. If we have problems with it later, Ron will fix it with the right tiles in there. I'm also going to try and post a picture of our flowers around the stump tomorrow night. Remember how little they used to be? You are going to be amazed at how big they have gotten, believe it or not, they seem to be thriving in this excess heat around here, that and putting Miracle Grow on them every two weeks!

Just to let you know, there is a definite difference between the floor and wall tiles, it's just that with the lighting, you can't really tell. It looks much better in person and you will all see for yourselves when we see you this winter in the desert! I will have more pics to post tomorrow night...

More pictures to see of the tile job. He 's not quite done with the bathroom, but, guess he decided to go ahead and do the kitchen area now. Ron's not quite sure he's happy about how he did the steps, thought it should have been rounded somehow, but, we'll see how it goes. We'll just have to watch where we step, because it looks like they could crack really easily on the end of the steps.

I told you I'd have more pictures to post, and if you think the tile looked good on the last pictures, wait until you see what he did today. I forgot to tell you that last weekends weather got up to 118 degrees!!! And we survived! I don't mind the heat, it's just that I would wish it would get there little by little, not just jump around. It is now around 108, which is normal for this time of year, I know it's going to get into the 120's, but, hopefully, that is a few weeks away yet, like later in July or August...I'll let you know how we're surviving when it does get that hot. In the meantime, enjoy the pictures and just be glad you don't have to deal with our heat...

Hi everyone, wow, didn't think it would take me this long to get back to you all. The last post, we had most of the backer board up and were waiting for our tile guy to come out to start the job. Well, we found out just recently that he had to go back to Italy for some family problems that came up, and won't be back until Sept. We can't wait that long, so hired some local tile setters from a tile store right here in Blythe. He started yesterday!! Before he came, Ron put the faucets in the wall, so he managed to get a couple of pictures of that. He's working today as I write this and we'll probably have even more pictures to put up tomorrow, but, I will show you how it's looking so far...

About Me

We have been full timing in an RV since May of 1993, and are still loving every minute of it. There is just so much to see in this great country of ours. We now live in our '59 Flxible VL-100 bus conversion and although it isn't totally done, we can still travel around in relative comfort.
